..tomorrow and nothing would change. In fact, if Trump had 'better angels' and started listening to them, his base would look for another deranged leader.

with ES&S machines and were shocked they still didn’t win. Republicans have benefited for years from ES&S irregularities.

9. It was not 75 million, it was just over 74 million and Biden was just over 81 million

They like to inflate Trump's # while reducing Biden's # when Biden was over 7 million more than Trump.

rounding to the closest 5. But if only 10M had voted for him, it's a scary statistic for me.

17. No you were not rounding, 74,200,000 is not rounded to 75,000,000

The republicans say 75 million all the time and it absolutely sends me round the bend.

81,268,924 for Biden

"Official 2020 presidential general election results".

Federal Election Commission.


https://www.fec.gov/resources/cms-content/documents/2020presgeresults.pdf


Biden won the popular vote by 7,052,770

That said, if just 21,461 votes (split between just 3 states, GA, WI, and AZ) had flipped from Biden to Trump, Trump would still be POTUS

21. I believe that was the game plan (especially since it might have been what happened in 2016)

But between an unexpected 17% increase in voter turnout and DuhDonald's response to Covid, so many people voted by mail that there probably weren't enough machine votes cast on Election Day to flip. Why do you think DuhDonald immediately took measures to sabotage the postal service?

11. Well, since 11M of DuhDon's 74M votes came from those who didn't vote all in 2016

14. My breakdown:
Wed Dec 22, 2021, 11:29 PM
Dec 2021

70% were standard Republicans, voted for Romney and McCain, would vote for Lucifer if he had an R by his name.
30% voted for Trump-- the horrible man, and his horrible values and proclaimed positions.

They're all disgusting, but the standard Republicans mostly voted for someone else in the primaries, so they KNEW Trump wasn't worthy.

I believe the other 30 million thought he was an asshole but voted for him because of the R after his name.
